UPDATE: This trip, but not the contract, got canceled at the last minute. The English for STEM course we’re developing is virtual now, and going great! I’m working for World Learning on a USAID program, in partnership with the Egyptian Ministry of Education, (MOE).

This contract is to assist in a small part of the much larger project. I’ll be collaborating with World Learning, the STEM school teachers, and the MOE to design and create three MOOC-type online courses in Schoology.com for 10th and 11th graders, and help train content developers.

Wow! I’m heading out early this week that I’ll be doing instructional design and training in Cairo, Egypt May 12th-19th! I’m working for World Learning on a USAID program, in partnership with the Egyptian Ministry of Education, (MOE).

This contract was a small part of the overall ECASE project. I helped find a suitable online platform to host three MOOC-type self-guided courses for 10th and 11th graders in the STEM high schools. These courses are to be completed with guidance from their teachers.

After conducting a needs assessment and choosing Schoology.com as the best, and really only, platform that could handle very unique requirements, I collaborated with World Learning’s excellent Egypt team, the MOE, and teachers to build and test a demo course.
